Brooklyn March Protests Anti-Semitic Vandalism

Scores of people marched through a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn Sunday to protest the anti-Semitic vandalism that struck the area two days earlier.

Demonstrators marched down Ocean Parkway, including one carrying an Israeli flag, near the Midwood corner where several cars were torched by hate-filled vandals who scrawled swastikas and “KKK” tags on cars.

“The fact that this most recent attack came on the heels of the 73rd anniversary of Kristallnacht may or may not be a coincidence,” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement, JTA reported. “Either way, this kind of hateful act has no place in the freest city in the freest country in the world.”

The mayor called the person or persons who perpetrated the attack “twisted.”

New York Councilman David Greenfield offered a $1,000 reward and the Anti-Defamation League offered a $4,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the attack.
